Chapter 42: Accepting the Reward (2)
Unable to hear the emperor speak, Li Siyu became more and more panicked in her heart, she put her hands on the ground, her forehead was about to stick to the brick surface, beads of sweat on her forehead seeped out from time to time, and the sweat on her neck slowly dripped down, moistening her already dry lips. The tight strings in her heart became tighter and tighter, and she became more and more humble on the surface.
"Get up, it's all your own family, you're welcome."
A voice came out of the side door, but it didn't come from the emperor's mouth.
Li Siyu was about to turn her face to see who was coming, but she was restricted by her identity and was afraid of offending the powerful, so she put her head back away.
"Hahaha, Brother Wing, you're here."
As soon as the emperor's kind tone came out, Li Siyu, who was still in a panic for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Yi, this is the heroine I told you." The emperor smiled and spoke, and stretched out his hand to Li Taiyuan, motioning for him to get up.
Li Taiyuan responded: "No." He was about to pick Li Siyu up.
"Siyu, you raise your head, you don't have to be courteous by the monarch and ministers anymore, just talk to me and Brother Yi."
The emperor's words made Li Siyu dare to raise her head.
Li Siyu looked forward and aimed at a fierce and vicious person.
Is he the so-called "wing brother" in the emperor's mouth?
I saw that this person was wearing a dragon robe, but it was slightly different from the dragon robe worn by the emperor. The dragon robe worn by the emperor shone with golden light, while the robe worn by this "winged brother" shone with silver light.
Maybe it's the difference between gold and silver. Perhaps this also represents a difference in status. The emperor is still the first person in the world, and this "wing brother" is at most the emperor's right-hand man.
Li Siyu cast her curious gaze on the face of "Brother Yi", and saw that his face was very fierce, and the wrinkles on his forehead were raised, as if the eyes under his forehead were squeezed. The small eyes were slightly squinted, but they were blazing, shooting out a sharp light, which made people look intimidating. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, making the smile on his face a little weird.
This person should be wealthy, or powerful. looks like he doesn't take himself and his father seriously.
Li Siyu felt uncomfortable.
"This is Miss Li Siyu? Luckily, I will. The so-called "Brother Yi" clasped his fists at Li Siyu with both hands, looking very powerful.
Li Siyu didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly returned the salute, but lowered her head again.
"Come, watch the tea, and sit down." The emperor gave an order, and immediately someone next to him brought two embroidered chairs.
Li Tai made a courtesy of the monarch and thanked him before sitting down.
Li Siyu watched her father's every move, followed suit, and immediately sat down.
The two of them sat down, the eunuch came to serve tea, Li Siyu lowered his head and took the teacup, casually made a tea-drinking appearance, and at the same time glanced at his father, and put down the teacup in his father's movements.
Li Taiyuan laughed softly and said, "The little girl has just recovered from her injuries today, which has bothered the emperor and the princes. Now the little girl came with her ministers to thank the emperor and the prince for their kindness. ”
The emperor waved his hand at Li Taiyuan, his smile was still the same, and said, "See, right?" Taiyuan is so old, and he is still so humble. ”
At the same time, the emperor said seriously to Li Siyu: "What, is your injury really better?" ”
Li Siyu said respectfully: "Yes, thank you for the emperor's concern, the emperor is gracious, Siyu always keep it in mind." ”
The person on the side squeezed out a cold smile at this time and said, "Look at the father and daughter, they are very polite in their words and deeds. Nowadays, there are probably not many people like them who are both civil and military, right? ”
The emperor waved his hand, looked happy, expressed his approval, and said, "Yes." The Rain Girl was my happiest discovery. ”
Li Taiyuan said: "The emperor and prince have won the award, and the little girl is just a little talented, not enough to worry about." ”
The emperor shook his head, but ignored Li Taiyuan, but smiled at Li Siyu and said: "Siyu, you have a great merit in beating the Huns." I want to reward you well. ”
The prince also said at this time: "Yes, the Xiongnu in the north are always thinking about my fat piece of the Central Plains. Now General Li Taiyuan is old and beyond his strength, but there is another Li Siyu, and he is a heroine. Haha, my Tang Empire can sit back and relax from now on. ”
The emperor said: "Yes, the Tang Empire has been established for more than 800 years, and when it comes to me, the Xiongnu have been very rampant. Fortunately, I have right-hand men, General Li Taiyuan and Miss Li Siyu. ”
Li Siyu thought to herself: "This other world is different from modern times. The Tang Empire was established for such a long time, and it was only 300 years in ancient China. ”
When I think of those feudal dynasties in ancient China, there are many wise men and warriors in them. Which dynasty has been established for more than 400 years?
There is also a Tang Empire in this other world, which has been established for 800 years.
And he, a modern white-collar worker, has actually become a hero of the 800-year-old Tang Empire, and now he can be comparable to those warriors in ancient China, right?
Li Siyu thought about it in her heart, and felt beautiful.
"Haha, Siyu." The emperor asked very happily.
Li Siyu also saluted the emperor towards her father's practice just now.
The emperor asked, "Look, you have such a great merit, how should I reward you?" ”
Li Siyu said in a stammering tone as if she were a superior in the workplace: "As long as the emperor rewards her, Siyu is very grateful." ”
The prince said, "Look at this girl, she is really good at talking. ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "This banquet is naturally a must." Today, I will feast the ministers and commend the merits of Miss Siyu. ”
Li Siyu said respectfully: "Yes, thank you emperor." ”
The emperor asked suspiciously: "What else will you reward her?" ”
At this moment, a man's hurried voice came from outside the door: "Father, choose a concubine." ”
The emperor's eyes suddenly widened, staring out the door, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately showed an ugly expression.
Li Siyu didn't dare to look back, but she could hear that it was Zhao Budao's voice.
Sure enough, the prince pointed outside and said, "The second elder brother is here." ”
Li Siyu listened to this "elder brother" for a long time, and felt weird, only feeling that it was called by those people in the Qing Dynasty, like the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and later Yongzheng. The third elder brother Xuanye, later Kangxi......
Why is this Tang Empire also called "Brother?" ”
There is also the clock I learned before that it was invented by the Huns...... Didn't someone Westerner invent it?
I don't know if there are Westerners in this other world!
However, Li Siyu didn't bother to think about it, since it was a different world, it was different from the real China. Why bother thinking about it?
Li Siyu hung her head quietly, waiting for the emperor's orders.
